Thanks for the answer. In the meantime, however, I increased the screen resolution (to see if that would help) and now the font is so big I can't see the bottom of the window where apply and okay is at. Nothing I've tried has helped -- not even removing and reinstalling. I know that this is addressed somewhere in the forums, but I don't remember how deep or far back I'd have to go to find it again. Also in the meantime, IE6 on my PCLinuxOS won't connect to the internet (seems to be a problem with the system, too; though sometimes PCLinuxOS is connected but IE6 isn't). As always, any and all help given me will be much appreciated. Thanks.
